Homosexuality , and other perversions did accellerate the decline of the Roman empire.
Weather it took 300 years or less , the decline was due to a breakdown in morals, and societal
deviances.
Soooooo....even if it took 300 years Homosexuality caused the collapse of the Roman Empire. Some logic
The Roman Empire collapsed immediately after the conversion to Christianity
A timeline of the Roman empire
Lets look at the numbers
40 AD Caligula emperor of Rome
380 AD Christianity proclaimed sole religion
406 AD Barbarians invade from the north
Are you talking about two different parts of the same breakdown process? The breakdown of people's morals and corruption of govt would cause the internal loss of integrity within.
The conversion to Christianity would be to take over the fallen system and replace it.
So wouldn't it make sense that the formal fall of the structures of society/govt FOLLOW and REFLECT the breakdown of the internal mores and relations among the people in that society.
We are talking about simplistic, partisan explanations for the fall of the Roman Empire to support a 21st century political agenda
The Romans had what we would call loose sexual morals for 1000 years. To claim that lots of sex caused the collapse is ridiculous
Just like my claim that Christianity caused it. But at least mine is closer to the actual collapse
